Suit without a tie...
I have to respectfully disagree with the comment about suits. The Golden Era proved that a man in a suit could look fun. Well, narrow that down to the late 30's-early 50's. In some social circles, a suit is seen as a form of pretension, and I'll never understand that. They're stylish, elegant... -
Suit without a tie...
Any jacket with lapels can impress anyone these days. It isn't informal to them;) -
Suit without a tie...
I've pretty much always been against this look, since the cravat does so much to the outfit. The suit without a tie look just ends up looking sloppy and very vanilla. It's not like a tie takes that much extra time to incorporate into the fit anyway, anyone could do the four-in-hand knot in their... -

The first one is what I'm aspiring to for my future black tie ensemble. Thank you for the inspiration! Can you send a picture of just the waistcoat alone? -

Beautiful tie! I'm trying to branch out from late 40's swing ties and into 20's and 30's territory, but there's so little of what I'm looking for in this period. Great cravat you have there, though!- MondoFW

There would be complete chaos if they just removed marketing of vintage items on eBay. I have my doubts about this outcome.- MondoFW

What rise is required for pants like these?
I don't have a big belly, so this wouldn't even be a problem. As for fitting in-- It could be said that every aspect of the habiliments illustrated in these ads are out of place today, most certainly in casual zones, where I wear outfits like in the ads. I get complimented on the shirts, shoes...- MondoFW

I'm watching this on ebay and have actually sent a question about it. A wonderful suit, just far out of my budget. Shame, it would be perfect for me. Whoever gets this one is a lucky one!- MondoFW

What rise is required for pants like these?
On eBay I see a lot of trousers that have a rise of 12''. This is obviously a change up from modern pants I've worn with a rise of 9'', but I'm curious as to what measurement will be required to have results such as these. Perhaps 12'' is enough?- MondoFW

Indeed. It makes me wish there were more hat receipts from long ago, or stamped dates somewhere. I like utilizing clues on my garments to imagine the history behind it.
